(Applies to GLASS "SOOT'S" UP AT A VERY FAST RATE
Only)
Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)
Clean any dust off of the windings and fan blades. If oiling
the blower does not help, the blower may be bad.
If operating the heater on the highest heat setting, the room
temperature could increase enough and lead to potential
overheating situations. If this happens, try operating at a lower
heat setting.
This pellet stove is designed and tested to use wood pellets.
Check for signs of fuel other than wood pellets. No other
types of fuel have been approved for this pellet stove. If there
are signs of other types of fuel being used, stop using them
immediately.
A power surge, spike, or voltage drop could cause the high
limit switch to trip. Check to see if a surge protector is being
used on the stove. If not, recommend one to the consumer.
If the other items check out OK, replace the high limit switch.
Possible Remedies: (Unplug stove first when possible)
Follow all cleaning procedure in the maintenance section of
the owner's manual.
Check to make sure the vent pipe has been installed
according to the criteria in the owner's manual.
Pull the damper knob farther out away from the side of the
stove and try to burn the unit again.
Remove the burnpot and thoroughly clean it.
Visually inspect the damper assembly. Make sure the damper
plate is attached to the damper rod. When the damper rod is
moved the plate should move with it.
Visually inspect the air intake pipe that leads into the burnpot
for foreign material.
Test the RPM on the blower after the blades have been
cleaned. The RPM should be approximately 3000 RPM.
The brand of pellets or the batch of pellets that are being
used may be of poor quality. If possible, try a different brand
of pellets. You might also want to try a brand that is made from
a different type of wood (softwood vs. hardwood). Different
woods have different characteristics when being burned.
